Gary Morgan says:

“Today’s New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll shows a potential Labour/Greens Alliance (46.5%, down 3%) still in a strong position to win Government in a year’s time with the support of New Zealand First (4.5%, down 0.5%).

“National (42%, up 0.5%) have work to do to retain Government although Prime Minister John Key has this week suggested the Conservative Party (2.5%, up 2%) could be a possible Coalition partner for National in a future Government.

“Already this year, United Future MP Peter Dunne and ACT MP John Banks (both Ministers in the National-led Government) have been forced to resign their ministerial posts and their political futures are uncertain.”

Electors were asked: “If a New Zealand Election were held today which party would receive your party vote?”
